ReSolve Riffs with Meb Faber - The Dude Abides

It had been a while since we riffed with our good friend Meb Faber (co-founder and the Chief Investment Officer of Cambria Investment Management), and as always, he didn’t disappoint. Our thought-provoking conversation covered topics such as: Meb’s big announcement – his Idea Farm, which curates investment content from a wide variety of sources, is now free Recent equity market dynamics and the pain that historically comes with inflation Why dogmatism and inflexibility are two of the worst traits for investors Never allowing your ideas to become part of your identity Diversification and ensembles are the right way forward, but most investors can’t follow because they are secretly gamblers at heart Marc Faber is not Meb’s dad Chasing the hot hand is rarely a winning investment strategy for the long run The irresistible allure of lottery-ticket stocks vs the Law of Large Numbers The incredible round-trip by ARK ETFs and a following that resembles a religion Every investment makes you richer or wiser, but never both The power of compounding and the most unbelievable investment statistic you’ll ever hear Most professional investors have a process for what they buy, but no process for what they sell The right time horizon to evaluate a strategy is MUCH longer than most investors can stick with if it doesn’t outperform from the start And much more This is “ReSolve’s Riffs” – live on YouTube every Friday afternoon to debate the most relevant investment topics of the day, hosted by Adam Butler, Mike Philbrick and Rodrigo Gordillo of ReSolve Global* and Richard Laterman of ReSolve Asset Management.   *ReSolve Global refers to ReSolve Asset Management SEZC (Cayman) which is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a commodity trading advisor and commodity pool operator.
